Answer:

Power, P =9800 W

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of the elevator, m = 500kg

It is raised to a height of 20 m in 10 seconds

Power is defined as the work done per unit time.

$P=\dfrac{W}{t}$

Work done is given by :

$W=mgh$

h is the height

So, $P=\dfrac{mgh}{t}$

$P=\dfrac{500\ kg\times 9.8\ m/s^2\times 20\ m}{10\ s}$

P = 9800 Watts

Hence, the power of the motor is 9800 W. The correct option is (b).

Strontium 3890Sr has a half-life of 28.5 yr. It is chemically similar to calcium, enters the body through the food chain, and co

patriot [66]

Answer:

Thus the time taken is calculated as 387.69 years

Solution:

As per the question:

Half life of $^{3890}Sr\, t_{\frac{1}{2}}$ = 28.5 yrs

Now,

To calculate the time, t in which the 99.99% of the release in the reactor:

By using the formula:

$\frac{N}{N_{o}} = (\frac{1}{2})^{\frac{t}{t_{\frac{1}{2}}}}$

where

N = No. of nuclei left after time t

$N_{o}$ = No. of nuclei initially started with

$\frac{N}{N_{o}} = 1\times 10^{- 4}$

(Since, 100% - 99.99% = 0.01%)

Thus

$1\times 10^{- 4} = (\frac{1}{2})^{\frac{t}{28.5}}}$

Taking log on both the sides:

$- 4 = \frac{t}{28.5}log\frac{1}{2}$

$t = \frac{-4\times 28.5}{log\frac{1}{2}}$

t = 387.69 yrs

garri49 [273]

Correct answer choice is :

C) To see if samples contain the target dna

Explanation:

In many North American rivers, populations of various kinds of non-native cyprinid fishes are present, including black carp, grass carp, bighead carp, silver carp, common carp, and goldfish. All six of these classes are found in the Mississippi River basin and following their aggression has shown complex, especially where wealth is low. The bighead carp is a species of freshwater fish, one of several Asian carps. It is one of the most intensively exploited fishes in aquaculture, with a yearly global product of over three million tonnes in 2013, mostly from China.
